Quote:“It’s John McCain who wears $500 shoes, has six houses, and comes from one of the richest families in his state . . . he doesn’t particularly empathize with the plight of the average person.”

That was Chuck Schumer.

No comparison. 
First of all, denigrating the service of any vet that got an honorable discharge is completely out of bounds, especially when you are not a vet yourself. Obama never denigrated McCain's service and neither did Bush.
Denigrating someone for his rich lifestyle is poor taste, but, it's also part of politics because most voters do want to feel like their leaders understand the challenges of not having millions of dollars.
